think people are let down by this signing as full back wasnt really our main priority instead we need a prem proven striker or attacking mid which is very hard to find. You bell end - we have one of the most leathal attacking lines in the league when it comes to shots/goal ratio - Strikers aren't e...

You wanted Premier League experience? There it is.....

Now shut up ya moaning.

There's a big difference between him not telling NH who he wants to keep, and who he doesn't, and getting involved in the in-depth negotiations which require legal knowledge..... A good manager doesn't know how to do everything (particularly when it comes to legal wranglings) - they simply know who ...

Gambling with money you either haven't got or are not prepared to simply write off if the gamble doesn't come off is neither "investment" nor "ambition". It's stupidity. Almost EVERY SINGLE thing said by Samuelson, Madejski and Zingarevich himself was completely clear about how ...

It's a foul. There's no argument about it really. Anywhere else on the pitch, it's given as a foul. People saying "Shorey should have jumped" - ever tried jumping with 15 stone of over priced tosser on your shoulder? It's about time refereeing in this country was given an overhaul.... vide...

Neither will be rescinded.

LOL @ Fat Arrogant Sam - "All we want is consistency". Well Sam, your player went in high and aggressive, and got red carded. And so did theirs. How much more consistent do you want? oxf*rd tosser.

Call me old fashioned but I can't be the only one who thinks that stunt is poor. It's completely :| Not offensive, not funny, just really weak shit. This ^^ Anyone who thinks that's even remotely funny, wants to have a think about enriching their lives with people and jokes which are genuinely funn...

I'm thinking we should perhaps employ the most obvious tactic available for this game. The patented, Caskeys Lovechild, 1-10 formation. .................................................Federici.............................................

Strachan? di Matteo? WTF is everyone going on about Di-Matteo? The bloke has achieved F'All. He took over AVB's team, and told them to "do what they want" - he destroyed WBA. The fact that he was named "Coach of the year" yesterday - is an absolute joke! Gordon Strachan. You do ...

runrunrunrungilksey Do you mean the Guthrie role?

The Guthrie role?? That useless prima donna, doesn't have a role. Unless you count sitting on the transfer list so that we can get rid ASAP.

Pants day, was to kick up a stink in the hope that we wouldn't end up somewhere we didn't belong. It's going to take at least 3 years of terminal decline, for there to ever needs to be another pants day. The people on this board are oxf*rd deluded if they think we "belong" in the Premier L...

Weve already missed that boat big time. Cant believe the ineptness of the whole thing. Making the mistakes last time can perhaps be forgiven. To do the same thing again is unforgivable. How poor is the management under the control and now the direction of JM. I really dont think he likes football, ...

Im no plastic but if we lose tomorrow im not arsed and i wont be asking for BM head but things need to pick up and fast

I tell you what, if we lose tomorrow, I'LL be calling for McDermotts head.

But I'll probably get over in time for the game on Monday.

Hmmmm this game is a bit of a biggy for the managers. If Reading win, Brian will surely get his backing back (which is what he deserves). If he loses - the noisy plastics will be out in force demanding his head, because he's struggling in the best league in the world. If Arsenal win, Arsenal fans wi...

Much too little, far too late for me. He's proven himself to not be a team player, not to have his mind on the job, and when he's played, not to be up to the job. McDermott is right on this - we're better off having a shit player, who's a team player, than a technically gifted, individual, in the te...

to all those who argue in favour of giving a bit more time please answer this: If he can't motivate his players to give it their all against Premier League oppostion how exactly is he going to motivate them to do it in the Championship? By offering them a oxf*rd MASSIVE BONUS on promotion you idiot.
